What’s the Difference Between Tele-Tower® Models? Here’s a Quick Breakdown
Not Sure Which Tele-Tower® to Pick? Let’s Break It Down.
If you’ve been looking at Tele-Tower® adjustable work platforms and wondering what the difference is between all the models you’re not alone. They all look similar at first glance, but each one is built for slightly different jobs.
The good news? No matter which model you choose, you’re getting solid basics:
Durable All-Steel Construction - Built tough for demanding job sites and daily use.
Hand-Crank, Winch-Driven Lift - Smooth, hydraulic-free operation with aircraft-grade steel cable.
Fast, Tool-Free Assembly - Sets up in minutes without the need for tools.
Heavy-Duty 5″ Locking Casters - Easy to maneuver; stable and secure when locked.
Made in the USA with Built-In Safety - OSHA/ANSI compliant with non-slip surfaces and a rock-solid platform.
But with five different models, how do you know which one fits your job? Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide.
Models in Order: Ascending Order

Final Thoughts
Choosing the right adjustable work platform means matching the model to your workspace and the type of jobs you do. If you need a basic, portable platform for everyday tasks, the 610 will work well. If your work involves high ceilings, the base 1101 or 96 is perfect, however, our Canadian friends should choose from models 22, or 2296 for CSA purposes.
Understanding the subtle (but important) differences between each Tele-Tower® model ensures you’re equipped with the right platform for safe, efficient elevated work. Look for our blog about which extension accessory that works with your new Tele-Tower®.
